10 Mile Dennis

[ForbiddenPlanet]

I had planned a 13K run this morning. According to the local forecast Dennis was over, but 4 miles in he was back with a vengeance. Torrential rain, howling wind, I could see my breath misting in front of my face. I thought the sensible thing was to give up, but it was actually more comfortable running as it was keeping me warm and I was miles from home. "To hell with it," I thought "I'm going to run 10 miles!".

I may actually be more stubborn than a storm! 😁

Fantastic run there FP what a great distance. Stubborn is good, amazing what you can achieve with it.

Thanks GTB. I am really keen to start running long as I've read it's good for both vascular health and weight loss, which are two things I really need!

[Grannyhugs Graduate10 in reply to ForbiddenPlanet]

Well you’re certainly running long and in great times too. Fantastic work

Thank you. One thing I liked was another runner I passed. We were grinning like idiots as if to say "You mad so and so! Yeah, I'm mad too!"

[wyrdwolf Graduate10 in reply to ForbiddenPlanet]

I love it when that happens, where I run there are quite often other people out in the rain and mud! 😊
